Brat raked in cash after Cantor defeat

Dave Brat, the Virginia Republican who toppled House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, raised nearly $400,000 between May 22 and June 30, according to a campaign-finance filing made public Tuesday.

Brat raised $399,660, including donations from Sarah Palin’s PAC, Rep. Thomas Massie’s (R-Ky.) PAC, Rep. Robert Hurt’s (R-Va.) PAC and Virginia Rep. Morgan Griffith’s (R-Va.) reelection committee. Brat also got $5,000 from the 7th District Republican Committee, a campaign account that was affiliated with Cantor. The donations all came after Brat defeated Cantor on June 10.
